Write-protecting a DDS cartridge
Write-protecting a DDS cartridge protects the data on the cartridge form being
changed, overwritten, or deleted. To write-protect a cartridge, slide the
write-protect tab on the back of the cartridge to the open position. To write-enable
the cartridge, slide the write-protect tab so the hole is closed.
Attention:
Write-protecting a cartridge does not protect the data on the cartridge
from bulk-erasure or degaussing. Do not bulk erase DDS cartridges; otherwise, the
pre-recorded servo information will be deleted, rendering the cartridge useless.
